Question
Lately, my child has been feeling unwell, with a stuffy nose, runny nose, and breathing through the mouth while sleeping. Sometimes, they even snore. We took them to the doctor, and they were diagnosed with tonsillitis. We want to know how to treat it. What should we do?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s symptoms may be related to an upper respiratory infection, and tonsillitis is not the primary issue. It is recommended to actively pursue antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatments. Medications for the common cold, such as paracetamol and phenylephrine or paracetamol and aniline, can be taken, along with antibiotic therapy. These measures are expected to alleviate the child’s symptoms.
